Young lovers defy their families’ long-established vendetta and jeopardize all they have to continue their relationship. The violent commotion between the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, finally bring peace to their feuding families, with their own death. Like with many suicide cases, there are challenges and decisions being made that lead up to this decision. Often times, we question who contributed to the suicide. Regardless, others argue that Romeo and Juliet should be held accountable for their ultimate decision. Then again, there is no definite reason to assign fault to Romeo and Juliet. Not only are their brains not fully developed, but pressures from outside forces caused such stress within the relationship.

Emotions are an important part of life. Without emotions, there would be no feelings, like sadness, happiness, anger, and the world would be dull. Sometimes emotions lead people to do things that defeat reason and go against what is ‘right’ in their society. So when do emotions defeat reason? Three books that illustrate strong emotions are, “Romeo and Juliet” a script by William Shakespeare, “Pride and Prejudice” a novel by Jane Austen, and “I am Malala” a memoir by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb. These books help illustrate emotions are stronger than reason because in all books the main characters have to overcome a problem or obstacle where their emotions defeat reason. In “Romeo and Juliet”, Romeo and Juliet aren’t allowed to be

I have resided in Verona for the better part of forty years and never have I seen such a mishandled case as this. Firstly, the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the tragedy of Verona. Their story comes only as a result of a deep seated hatred that in the past you have not condoned. Yet your strict attitude cost a man his life. Now three bodies have been laid to rest as a result of Romeo 's banishment. You should have allowed Romeo to remain in Verona following Mercutio and Tybalt 's deaths. The punishment may fit the crime, but not the circumstances. Romeo 's banishment was unjust.

From the 16th century to the 21st century, concepts of good parenting have drastically changed. In Romeo and Juliet, parenting takes an unusual approach as the children are treated in many different ways. Several couples in Shakespeare’s book, have experienced raising a child. While some raise their children with every second of their attention, others, including the Capulets, leave their child with a nanny. Not having a stable relationship with parents has often been the cause of feeling isolated; this is how Juliet feels when growing up, especially being an only child. After the lack of parenting in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Juliet has been raised by her nurse, not had her parents’ influential presence in her life, and has

One of Shakespeare’s most eminent plays, Romeo and Juliet is a tale revolving around a pair of star-crossed lovers whose premature relationship must go undiscovered because of their feuding families. However, in the arduous process of protecting its secrecy, several essential figures including Romeo, Friar Lawrence and the theme of fate play decisive roles that hold responsibility in the turnout of events that lead to a tragic conclusion. Romeo, the lover himself is rebellious and desperate for love. His impulsive personality towards love and marriage establishes danger not only upon himself but as well as his partner Juliet. Friar Lawrence is well-regarded, but his rashness, ignorance, and ill-advised thinking place both lovers in

Regarding the status updates in which he incorporates talk about adversity and about what it means to be a man, he, once again, puts himself in positions of power. Evident through his self-portrayal as a conqueror and his use of the word “man,” in image 4, he claims power on the basis of the close association between power and masculinity. Depicting himself as powerful, self-governing, and pushing past his limits, Romeo conveys the idea that, he is determined to overcome the unfavorable circumstances to which he refers to by using the word, “insanity.” Along the same lines, the use of the word, “insanity” helps him maintain an element of privacy. Accordingly, when asked what he considers to be appropriate or inappropriate publishing content, he responded that, as a man, one must keep certain matters private. That is not to say that, sharing feelings is unacceptable. On the contrary, he encourages that. What he thinks is inappropriate, is for men to share the specifics of the situation at hand, for that seems effeminate. Clearly, Romeo uses linguistic features such as, ‘manly talk’ or ‘adversity talk’ to index stances of strength and self-control. These stances hint at an even bigger picture of gender performance. Through his gender performance, Romeo controls both what he does and does not disclose and his responses to unfavorable situations. His in control masculine stances further support Ainsworth-Vaughn’s postulate, previously discussed. By claiming power, Romeo

“Out upon her! Thou torturest me, Tubal. It was my turquoise. I had it of Leah when I was a bachelor. I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys” (Shakespeare 114).

Romeo and Juliet is a romantic-tragedy play written in 1595 by playwright and actor William Shakespeare. Shakespeare demonstrated in the play that is set in Verona, Italy, a tale of two families that have been feuding since before they can even remember. Trouble brews when both the families offsprings;Romeo and Juliet fall in love.The families they belong to,Romeo a Montague, and Juliet a Capulet would be furious if they found out that they 're only children were in love with their ‘enemy’. By Them hiding their love from their families it leads to the deaths of the two. So,Who is to blame for the deaths? The whole play is focused on the love tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.

William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is the acclaimed love story about two ‘star –crossed lovers’ from feuding, households, whose unfortunate deaths ultimately reconciles them. In those times the Shakespearean society would be male dominant and would therefore treat women as inferior beings. Shakespeare used Juliet, the eponymous heroine in his play as a figure to show how a young woman would be treated by different characters at various points of the play.

The tragic romance of Romeo & Juliet is believed by many to be one of the greatest examples of true love in literature. But do those believers notice the distinctions between love and lust? If Romeo & Juliet’s love is truly is the amour everyone believes it to be, why is there an abundance of evidence suggesting that they weren’t in love at all? Shakespeare asks “Was there ever a more tragic love /than of this Romeo and Juliet?” If Romeo & Juliet were truly in love, this question need not be answered for they had no real love between them, only infatuation and lust, which is the very reason why the tale is considered a tragedy.

Throughout many of William’s Shakespeare’s plays, Shakespeare creates distinguished characters that serve as foils to the title characters. In Romeo and Juliet, the unseen Rosaline and the conventional Parris contrast with the heavily featured Juliet and her unpredictable partner, Romeo. In Macbeth, the decisive Lady Macbeth contrasts with her indecisive husband, Macbeth. In Hamlet, Shakespeare creates one of his most polarizing title characters. Detailing Hamlet’s quest to avenge his father’s death, Shakespeare shows how Hamlet contrasts with other characters. Hamlet’s foils Laertes, Fortinbras, and Ophelia emphasize Hamlet’s independence, calmness, religiousness, patience, cunningness, rationality, loyalty, intelligence, perseverance, compassion, and honor.

The characters in Romeo and Juliet grow and change throughout the story, some are forced to mature very quickly and others must decide which side they stand with in important matters. At the end of a story, the characters usually develop and are different than the beginning, this is what causing the story to be interesting while also moving it forward. If characters were to stay the same, they would appear two dimensional and uninteresting to readers. When they are put into a crossroad and not sure what way to go, the audience can relate to them, if characters always immediately knew which path to take the story would be unrealistic. When characters are not sure of themselves, audiences can better understand them and bring them to life. Some of the characters who face the most difficulties and changes are Romeo, Juliet, Lord Capulet, Mercutio and Friar Lawrence. Romeo and Juliet must decide how they are going to keep their relationship a secret due to their family 's feud while Lord Capulet has to decide what is best between forcing Juliet to marry Paris although she is too young and letting Juliet grow up a little more before their marriage. To decrease tension when Montague and Capulet start fighting in the streets, Mercutio tries to calm things down using humor which end with his death while Friar Lawrence must decide to help Romeo and Juliet in hope it will stop the feud or leave it to themselves so he does not end up getting mixed in with the families’ quarrel.
